Solana recorded record-high real-world asset (RWA) tokenization activity toward the end of 2025, creating fresh momentum for growth in 2026. Data shows that the size of RWAs on the Solana blockchain increased by nearly 10% month-on-month in December, reaching a new high of USD 873 million, while the number of RWA holders rose 18.4% to 126,000.
Currently, RWAs on Solana - $SOL are mainly U.S. Treasury-related assets, including BlackRock’s BUIDL fund (approximately USD 255 million) and Ondo’s USD yield products (around USD 176 million). At the same time, tokenized equities such as Tesla and Nvidia, along with institutional funds, are being rapidly deployed on Solana.
Solana has the potential to become the third public blockchain with RWA scale exceeding USD 1 billion, following Ethereum (around USD 12.3 billion) and BNB Chain (over USD 2 billion).
Bitwise recently noted that if the U.S. passes the CLARITY bill related to crypto market structure in 2026, the wave of tokenization will accelerate, and Solana could be one of the biggest beneficiaries. Although SOL’s price remains below its all-time high, the spot Solana ETF has been approved and has attracted around USD 765 million in inflows. In addition, Western Union has chosen Solana to build a stablecoin payment platform scheduled to launch in the first half of 2026, further strengthening its prospects for institutional adoption.
